Primary Campaign 2008: A Brief History

Doesn't it seem like this primary campaign began about the same time they replaced the pull-off tabs on Pepsi cans with the safety tabs we have now? Wasn't it around the same time that Shelley Hack made her debut as the fifth Charlie's Angel? Didn't the Fonz actually jump a shark in the middle of it?

But now, it is finally over. The general election has begun. Hillary Clinton has conceded, which means no more even remotely fun conference calls. The confetti that I collected from the floor of the Hillary Clinton celebration in Philadelphia has been duly delivered to its rightful owner. We have the Veepstakes to look forward to, and after that, a string of lopsided debates. The only real suspense now is the possible nature and effectiveness of the "October Surprise."

To help me laugh through my tears, MSNBC's Countdown put together a nifty compilation of video clips to summarize the 2008 Presidential Primaries.
